The PTW College Prep Track
Performers Theater Workshop has successfully guided students like you through the college audition process for more than 30 years. We’ve helped students of diverse interests earn acceptance to elite college programs, including those at Carnegie Mellon, Boston Conservatory, Ithaca College, and many more. The College Audition Prep track offers peace of mind through our time-tested curriculum, customized around your goals and abilities.
Our experts will guide you, step by step, through the college audition process, which, for many young artists, can feel daunting. You’ll build confidence, develop a sense of ease, and receive the highest level of preparation. Plus, you’ll have access to the tristate area’s leading voice, acting, and dance teachers from your first consultation to your final acceptance decision.
We’ll match you with your Personal College Prep Arts Guidance Counselor as part of your customized prep package. Over many years, these expert instructors have gained a wealth of experience and continue updating their college prep toolkits as technology advances and processes change with each calendar year.
In addition to your Personal College Prep Arts Guidance Counselor, you’ll receive instruction and feedback from voice, song interp, acting, and dance teachers, who’ll help you prepare your materials in each other their areas of expertise. By the end of this process, you’ll feel confident and excited about your pre-screens and live auditions, your unique strengths, and your knock-em-dead chances of getting into your target colleges and universities!
